I don't think that I would want to acid dip a
monza. You have to ask yourself what shape is this car
really in? To acid dip it, it would have to be stripped
down to a bare shell. Depending on the condition of
the car, a much better solution would be to blast it
with a plastic media. It's like sandblasting but it is
much gentler on the sheet metal than sand. Media
blasting can strip the coating off a thin pop can and not
damage the metal! Sometimes sandblasting can warp the
sheet metal from excess heat or leave it rougher than
you want. Sand blasting the bottom of the car would
be ok, it is a excellent way to remove rust if that
is what you are dealing with but my experience with
the small home pressure units is that it is not real
good at removing thick under coating, you can do it
but it is going to take a lot of time and sand, maybe
professional places that have stronger machines would make it
easier. Generally speaking you want to use the gentlest
method that will get the job done. Give us a little more
info on your car and maybe we can help a little more.
